FusionSearchers

(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Information Technology and Services industry)

January 2008 — Present (9 months)

Today’s interconnected world makes the best people and ideas come together virtually creating opportunities, projects & companies.

We noticed that nobody cares if you’re editing a report in a local espresso bar or setting up an online conference call on a sunny terrace in the center of Amsterdam. Fusionsearchers is a company delivering Human Captial Solutions for Sales, Technology and New Media Ventures
